On March 6, 2014, The Alliance for Clinical Research Excellence and Safety (ACRES) announced the launch of a Global Stakeholder Consultation to better inform the development of standards, processes and policies to promote excellence and sustainability of clinical research sites worldwide.

The Consultation will include a series of surveys, interviews and face-to-face interactive meetings with stakeholders from all sectors of the clinical research enterprise over the next year. The surveys will be powered by ACRES’ strategic ally, ViS Research, a provider of unique online feasibility assessment technology. The resulting report will be widely shared with the global clinical research community.
